    Hello,

    I have this tall (5-6 feet, or 150-180cm) weed growing in my garden in Ithaca, NY, USA. I think it's wild amaranth, but I am not sure. If it is, is there an easy way to identify which specie? If not, what do you think it is?

    I attach some pictures of the general look, and details of leaves, stem and flowers.

    Thank you in advance for your help in indentifying this plant.

    Olivier

    Amaranthus. Uncertain for sure of species, but possibly Amaranthus hybridus.
